Yes I believe I better wait until the US Release comes out from Yuneec. My H is flying great. It was pulling to the right a little with forward stick. I did a accelerometer calibration and it's spot on now. I just have to get used to the twitchy movements. Even in turtle mode the sticks are...

Has Yuneec released the new firmware for download on their site? I went to their site and cannot find it. I just got H 2 weeks ago and I am amazed that they are already coming out with an update this soon but I surely welcome it. Can anyone please advise.

No that was a once in a lifetime "Drone In One" LOL. Dad raised her right as she was very apologetic and so was dad. I am sure it will be back up and flying in no time. They now have a video that I bet they sit and laugh about now. Her new nickname is prolly drone killer. LOL. No one was hurt...

Where are you? I'm live in extreme western KY. Right at the Confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.

Our area is beyond rural. Our county only has 7000 citizens total. Our geography is all farming communities. There are areas where there is only one home for miles. We are made up of predominantly agriculture fields, Mississippi River, river bottom land and wiildlife areas. We only have 3 very...

Good morning. No such law here. Once again I don't use them for investigations. The investigation is already done. I'm just out flying areas days before in a recreational manner on my own personal time. These areas may or may not be where we might be going to pay someone a visit in order to give...

AMEN!!!!!!

Thanks PatR, Our agency covers a very rural are with only 7000 citizens but with an absolute methamphetamine epidemic. I as the one and only K9 Narcotics Officer when I learn that we are about to work in a given area I contact a local farmer or land owner and get permission to fly his farm in a...

You are completely off base and apparently you didnt read all of my comments above. I do not use the H for this as of yet as I only have 6 flights. No I am not operating for commercial use as I fly LOS and as the PIC I keep LOS and if I ever use FPV I have two others on site as spotters. I DO...

PatR, Thanks for the suggestions and comments. I have also used my drone when property owners have called us to report the possibility of a Marijuana Grow. We always contact the landowner if we suspect they are not involved and in most cases they are not. I then fly the farms with their...

I am never alone as I said I always have another officer or two with me at the time and one monitors the large LCD monitor that I have on tripod and I concentrate on LOS flight. He calls out to move camera up, down, left or right. As I said I predominantly fly LOS. We live in a very rural area...

Yes I am very cautious of my flight practices and uses. I use my drones for Officer Safety Intel Gathering only. Nothing I film or video is used for evidence purposes. Officer Safety only. I only use FPV when it is absolutely necessary as most times its all line of sight and over-flights to...

Thanks so much guys. I am going to just have to stop flying my Q500+ so much and put it on the shelf for a while and make the H my go to bird. I think once I do that I will become more efficient with it. By the way turning off the GPS made a huge difference. I think when I am at altitude in the...

Thanks PatR, I kinds figured this would be the general consensus. With it being a 6 rotor aircraft compared to the 4 rotor with the Q500+ that the H would be more powerful. I have a large monitor on a tripod that I use during my serious flights so another officer can get a real good view of the...

Hello, I am about to ask a very silly question but I am open to any advice as this is a real problem for me. I have been flying the Q500+ for nearly 6 months with tons and tons of flights. I received the my new H last week and have a a half dozen flights and I really like it with one exception...
